Two weeks ago or so saw the launch of ourmedia.com. Now we have another entry in the ‘free media hosting’ sweepstakes – Open Media Network. This one is from Marc Andreesen, of Netscape fame. So far it supports windows/ie only (ugh…they’re doing a tv-guide wannabe interface and used activex, it seems) but Firefox/other OS versions are promised. If you’re looking for more legitimate content to fill you Mediagate box (see recent posting) with, here’s another service for you to check out. Or maybe you’re convinced the world is ready to see those wedding videos. Whatever it is, here’s another place to stash that content.
A brief slightly related aside – anyone else noticing a recent flourishing of free web services? It’s evocative of the whole dot.com boom of years ago. I seem to remember Robert x Cringley speculating this was going to happen a few months ago, guess he was onto something.
